157: SEVENDUST Inside The Metal Vol.1

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/08/25

The only thing more rewarding than having Waffle House after a show or consuming Chick-Fil-A on a Sunday (that was pre-purchased previously) is knowing that you share a city with an established, successful metal band. And it’s even more kick-ass when that city is Atlanta, Georgia and that metal band is SEVENDUST! Prepare to get “hooked up” and time-travel with us through joyous, old-school flashbacks and memories of days gone by as we reflect on the local scene back in the early 90’s and connect the

156: THE ACCUSED - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/08/18

“M” is for Many things. Madness, Meat, Metal, Merch, and Most iMportantly: “M is for Martha” Meaning Martha Splatterhead, the Mascot of Oak Harbor, Washington’s crossover Masters, THE ACCUSED. The dudes in THE ACCUSED left their Mark on Metal with a new Mutant genre of Metal called “crossover thrash” which blended all of the best eleMents of punk, hardcore, and thrash together to Make Metal More Magnificently fun than ever. This was Most definitely a “knife and fork burger” kind of episode as it was

155: PANTERA OFFICIAL LIVE: 101 PROOF

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/08/11

With the upcoming PANTERA reunion in the works, we felt it would be reprehensibly “irresponsible” of us to NOT touch on one of the greatest live albums by one of the greatest live bands to have dominated metal during the 90’s: Pantera’s OFFICIAL LIVE: 101 PROOF. Not only does it span the era of their catalog from “Cowboys” to “Trendkill”, but it also comes with a generous helping of between song stage banter that’s some of the best in the business, and finishes with a couple of previously

154: KYUSS - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/08/04

Before QOTSA, Them Crooked Vultures, or Eagles of Death Metal, there were the godfathers of Desert Stoner Metal, KYUSS. And before anyone gets upset, excited, or bolth, please note that this is undoubtedly our most progressive* episode yet. Because while we merely made mention of this “episode’s band of the episode” on the previous episode, this time we’re ACTUALLY talking about this episode’s band of the episode. Listening to KYUSS is analogous to enjoying relaxers without “actually having”

153: Just Talking Shit-tah Vol.1 - PANTERA MEGADETH...

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/07/28

“Why can’t you just enjoy it? Why do you gotta complain about it?” People worldwide have been asking these EXACT same questions forever (OR, at a minimum, at least the last couple of years). Whether it’s with regard to hijacking someone else’s pleasure, enjoying some over-done meat drapes, or debating whether a band is its brand (or vice versa), these questions (along with countless others) persist and cannot be ignored or denied. And given that this episode might be a bit of a departure from our

152: Anthrax AMONG THE LIVING Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/07/21

Combining the literary influence of horror legend Stephen King with the ultra-groovy, ultra-speedy, and ultra-heavy thrash metal wizardry of ANTHRAX could only result in one possible (yet ever so glorious) outcome: the 1987 masterpiece, AMONG THE LIVING. The album is so mind blowing & perfect that had it been released in 1986, all other forms of “lesser” music (aka: everything NOT thrash) would have been immediately deleted and erased from all of existence (and from all multiverses) and The Big

151: 1982 Year In Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/07/14

A time of momentous change in the world. The Weather Channel premiered on cable television, Sony introduced the first compact disc player, “E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial” was released in theaters and Metallica released their “No Life ‘Til Leather” demo. (And that’s not even “everything” that happened in 1982!) 1982 METAL was morphing into something louder, faster, and heavier, helping to lay the foundation and pave the way for future generations of metalheads, ensuring that the rest of the 80’s (at

150: BLACK SABBATH Vol. IV - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/07/07

For an album that was originally going to be called “Cocaine” (yes, you read that correctly, but the suits chopped that idea. The band even tried for “Snowblind”, until the suits bumped that idea as well), BLACK SABBATH VOL. 4 is a landmark album and (somewhat ironically) a stoner metal masterpiece built on the stony, doomy, metal foundations crafted by the band over the course of their 3 previous “volumes”, resulting in one of the finest offerings from the legendary period known as “The First

149: NEW METAL ALBUMS of 2022

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/06/30

As of this episode, it’s the last day of the first half of 2022, and there’s a veritable plethora of NEW METAL that’s either already been unleashed OR is scheduled to be unleashed during the second half of 2022. There’s metal we’re not as familiar with, metal we’ve been eagerly anticipating, metal we’d almost forgotten about, there’s even some incredibly “titillating” metal. For this episode, we decided to “take the weekend off” and try something NEW. Get ready to understand the consequences of

148: MERCYFUL FATE - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/06/23

Halloween Eve, 1983… Nothing screams “early black metal” like MERCYFUL FATE! (Correction: nothing screams “legitimate” early black metal like having KING DIAMOND, an actual satanist, as the frontman of MERCYFUL FATE!!!) The fascinating thing about KING DIAMOND and MERCYFUL FATE is that while they are different bands, the many shared similarities between the two coalesce to form what can only be referred to as “The KING DIAMOND Paradox”, which is as follows: “King Diamond IS Mercyful Fate AND

147: DEATH METAL Vol. I

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/06/16

Although the differences between thrash and DEATH METAL seemed subtle at the time, there was a distinctive demarcation between the two subgenres, most notably with DEATH METAL having much deeper, guttural sounding vocals, faster time signatures and much darker, supremely bleaker soundscapes and lyrical themes than thrash. There was something palpably different there, we just couldn’t quite put our tentacles on it (at the time). We just thought it was the next wave of extreme heavy metal. And quite

146: Megadeth So Far So Good.. So What Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/06/09

“DAVE MUSTAINE FOR PRESIDENT, 2024!!!” While many outside the tri-county metal multiverse would be absolutely mortified to have the MEGADETH leader as the “Commander In-Chief,” many feel it’s the only way to ensure that America (along with the rest of the planet) stays metal (and awake) forever. With the release of their third album (1988’s SO FAR…SO GOOD…SO WHAT!), Megadeth continued to hone and diversify their sonic palette, staying true to their blisteringly articulate thrash fury and

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/06/02

It’s time to embrace the sound…of Skynet! Obviously, “Skynet Core” isn’t a thing (yet), but INDUSTRIAL METAL certainly IS! Nothing else in the heavy metal multiverse sounds quite like this ultra-modern, mechanical subgenre of metal which most closely resembles a symphony of machine sex augmented with synthesizers, sequencers, sampling and (obviously) a ton of tambourine! Prepare to check-in to the Metal Nerdery Industrial Metal Complex and behold “some of the best South American adult

144: SLAYER Seasons in the Abyss Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/05/26

“Which of The Big Four ‘Black Album-ed’ first?” It’s a delicate subject, one which SLAYER fans will be unable to refute or deny, but SEASONS IN THE ABYSS (as genius as it is) IS actually (kind of) “Slayer’s Black Album”. Do you want proof? Well, there’s hooks (wait: hooks?), there’s melody (that’s right: melody), and there’s the perfect sonic coalescence of their four prior studio albums, making it the perfect climax to their legendary 80’s output and the ideal way to close out their inaugural

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/05/19

Talk about problematic procrastination: only twenty-three years AFTER they were first eligible to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, JUDAS PRIEST will FINALLY have their day! Few bands in the history of metal have matched the long, prosperous, and influential career of JUDAS PRIEST, who have been collectively “screaming for vengeance” and “defending the faith” (as it were) for more than ½ a century, continuously honing, evolving, and intensifying their trailblazing, twin-guitar,

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/05/12

With the release of “RANDY RHOADS: Reflections of a Guitar Icon”, we felt compelled to take a closer look at the brief yet mythical career of one of the most gifted guitarists in the history of heavy metal and a true “game changer” in the realm of heavy metal guitar playing, RANDY RHOADS (of Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne’s Blizzard of Ozz). Grab yourself a handful of some “special van candy”, get ready to “play the tuning song”, find out the true meaning of “bone movies” and prepare to be “fully

Don’t get all “twisted up and twanglified” that we were so all over the road on THIS episode, because THIS is our very first “official” GRAB-SACK episode! Since the GRAB-SACK is a potluck of metal (and being “the number two” podcast that we are), we went out of our way to be inclusive of ALL metal currently available in the greater, Tri-County listening area, navigating through a veritable cornucopia of metal bands, some of which we’ve NEVER talked about until now (and some of which we’ll NEVER

140: ACDC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/04/28

The most impressive thing about the BON SCOTT era of AC/DC is that every word, every riff, every beat, and every note of every song just oozes a certain essence of sleaze and debauchery (in a good way). And let us not forget the incredible double-entendres splattered across the entirety of the lyrics for the album (umm, “balls” much?). We’re doing our best to render “rim-shot hilarity” to everyone in need of it, located within the global confines of the Tri-County Metal Nerdery listening area. Get

2022/04/21

“DUDE! They’re like KISS, but next level, man!” (J/K. But seriously, NOW that we have your attention…) Hidden deep behind the anonymity of their grotesque masks and monochromatic, prison-style jumpsuits, SLIPKNOT have remained forever faithful to the sinister, dark ambiance that permeates every pore of everything they do; sonically, lyrically, and visually. SLIPKNOT isn’t some lame, throw-away, “Nu Metal” band from the 2000’s, but if they are to be forced inside that particular box, then they

138: Primus - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/04/14

Don’t deny the power of three. Whether it’s certain “anti-relaxers”, a brilliantly executed joke, or the divinely strange shades of psychedelic metal weirdness created by the “power threesome” known as PRIMUS, three packs quite the powerful punch. PRIMUS have always stayed in the realm of the weird and unorthodox, forging their own unique path by blending surrealistic bass driven prog metal with absurdly weird lyrical vistas and some of the strangest riffs known this side of the multiverse to create
